Chapter 403: 403: A Little Pain in the Hand, or a Little Pain in the Heart

“Impossible.”

Dan Hanjie negated her conjecture without a second thought, pressing his long fingers against Qin Youxuan’s lips that were about to argue, “He’s dead, he can’t revive.”

“What if…?” Qin Youxuan clung to his hand, “This is the Dan Family’s private island. You said no one apart from yourself could come in, but I really did see a man. How do you explain that?”

“There’s no what if.” Dan Hanjie held her head steady, “You are too tired, come sleep by my side.”

He shifted slightly, making room for her beside him.

“…”

Qin Youxuan remained still, just staring at his face with bright eyes.

The more she thought, the more she believed that her guess was correct.

“Extreme Love Island was once an unnamed island, initially just a commercially worthless island in the ocean. Before I took over, it had been in the possession of the Dan Family for nearly ten years. Do you know what it was used for?”

Seeing her persistent disobedience, Dan Hanjie squeezed her nose with his big hand.

Rubbing his fingertips against her delicate skin, he squinted with satisfaction.

“With such beautiful scenery, it’s ideal for sightseeing.”

“Weapon research,” Dan Hanjie sneered, pausing after each word.

“…”

“Scared?” Seeing her wide eyes, Dan Hanjie ran his fingers over her eyebrows, lightly pressing.

Qin Youxuan swallowed, twisting her dress hem, “I’m just surprised, the Dan Family is a top-tier clan, how could they…”

“The more glamorous people appear, the more dirty and hidden methods they tend to have.”

“…”

Qin Youxuan couldn’t reply, and just stared at him, wide-eyed.

Would he criticize his own family like this?

“After I took over the Dan Group, this place was exposed by the media and was no longer suitable for underhand operations, so I took it out of the Dan Group’s control and made it a private island. Bringing you here, I thought the people here were all mine, enough to guarantee your safety, but now…”

Dan Hanjie’s eyes were deep, emanating a chilling coldness.

“I am no longer certain how many secrets this place is hiding, perhaps the person you saw entered through a route I’m not aware of.”

“So we ought to leave here even more! How dangerous!”

Qin Youxuan seized the opportunity, urging him to go back home for treatment.

The climate here was indeed not conducive for his wounds to heal.

“I really appreciate your concern, but the honeymoon has not yet ended. We can’t just quit half way.”

Dan Hanjie lowered his head and lightly kissed her forehead, seeing Qin Youxuan didn’t resist, his eyes flashed.

“Are we done fighting now?”

While leaning his forehead against hers, his magnetic voice carried a hint of seduction.

“…We were never fighting.”

Twisting her tiny fingers, Qin Youxuan silently rolled over to the side of the bed and snuggled towards him.

She reached out her arm to hold his strong waist, burying her small head in his chest and mumbled, “Let’s put all that in the past.”

The moment she found out that he had risked his life and dashed into a dangerous zone, just to find her, she had forgotten about everything else.

Watching him break into a high fever, but persistently calling for her, holding her hand and refusing to let go, she couldn’t tell what hurt more, her hand or her heart.

All she knew was that she couldn’t be without this man.

He had intricately woven a net, enclosing her tightly. Little by little, he bound her, and by the time she realized it, she had already completely succumbed.
